Redcine / Redalert Pro res renders - why so different?

[Jeff Brown]

I'm exporting the same shot from both Red Alert and Redcine as 1080p Prores HQ. The Red Alert render is noticably better - sharper and brighter. The Redcine in contrast is darker and noiser with less detail.

I'm doing a straight export from both at default settings. Is there an explaination of the corresponding controls in both apps?

I prefer the Red Alert renders but want to batch render out of redcine. Ie. I want clean flat Prores files. Any help appreciated....

What version RA are you on Jeff?
I'm having no luck getting any denoise, or debayer change by varying settings in v1.56, and no change with OLPF between off & low.
I understand that Redcine settings are supposed to be the same as "max" settings in RA, but can't get RA settings to "work" to confirm the outcome.
I'm hoping switching back to an earlier version might work.

I'm on 1.5.6 of Red Alert and Build 90 of Redcine.

I noticed that in red alert the color sliders are set to 1. In Redcine they are set to zero but if I side them all to 100 I get similar looking output. Is that the way I should be doing it and does the 1 in RA equal 100 in RC?
